勞倫斯•詹姆斯
英國著名曆史學傢和作傢,畢業於牛津大學學術實力最強的學院——莫頓學院。繼教師生涯之後,詹姆斯決定與1985年成為一名全職作傢,並齣版瞭一係列具有重要影響力的曆史作品,例如《鋼鐵公爵:惠靈頓軍事傳記》《丘吉爾與帝國》等。此外,詹姆斯還受邀為《每日郵報》《泰晤士報》《文學評論》等著名媒體撰寫評論。
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE covers the history of British expansion overseas from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries.

評分一种英国人对过去的幽恋 本书我读了很久,说实话没读进去多少。大量的时间和金钱的数字,让我头晕。当然,这样是学术的必要的严谨。 就像钱乘旦教授在钱序中所言“写到这里,就看出这部书的一些缺点了,其中之一,就是它为了不做学究式的说教而力图讲故事,结果有许多必须用论...
評分目前看完了一章,作者为了时间顺序,牺牲了当时事件发生的连贯性,在事件描述上不是很有逻辑,事件写的比较散。第一章全部笔墨描写的是英国对海洋和美洲侵略的历史,如果先适当描述当时欧洲的整个格局,让读者清楚英国那个时期在欧洲的地位是怎样的,这有助于读者更深刻的理解...
